Removable Hoodie bill

ABSTRACT

A sports visor having attachment points by which to affix and remove from a sweatshirt or jacket hood. The visor is comprised of a top face and a bottom face and may be secured to the hoot with a securing means located on the back of the visor.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The field of the present invention relates to headgear and, more specifically, to removable visors and hoods.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Outdoor activities have long created a market for attached hoods, those that are affixed to garmets such as sweatshirts and jackets. Along the same lines, an athlete requires a sports visor that is versatile enough to keep the sun out of the wearer's eyes without obstructing his field of vision. One of the primary problems with existing headgear/visor combination is that the visors are designed to extend from a fixed position underneath the base or bottom edge of the headgear. However, this positions the visor too close to the top of the wearer's eyes thereby obstructing the wearer's vision, both, upwardly and peripherally. Although this headgear/visor combination will shield the wearer's eyes from the sun, it will also block the wearer's field of vision making it difficult to, for example, adequately follow the trajectory of a fast-moving tennis ball. As a result it is rare to see professional athletes in fast moving sports such as tennis, wearing visors. A tennis player, for example, concerned with having a visor that blocks the sun, will forego using such a visor if it also blocks his forward and/or peripheral vision. As an alternative, some headgear such as the type used by baseball and volleyball players permits the visor to fold or flip upwardly away from the wearer's eyes to provide a greater range of vision. But, in this upwardly folded position, the visor does not protect the wearer's eyes from the sun requiring constant repositioning of the visor which may detrimentally spoil the athlete's concentration during the game.

Another important feature is often desired is weather protection such as a jacket or sweatshirt. It is common for outdoor activities to occur in cold yet sunny conditions. These condition create a desire for head warmth and sun protection with the ability to easily remove the sun protection and maintain head warmth.
